Legendary rapper Eminem, also known as Marshall Mathers, is officially a grandfather! His daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named Elliot Marshall McClintock, on March 14, 2025. The baby’s middle name, Marshall, is a touching nod to his grandfather, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III.

The 29-year-old podcaster and influencer shared the exciting news on Instagram, posting adorable photos of her newborn son with the caption celebrating “three weeks earthside.” Fans quickly noticed the sentimental tribute in Elliot’s name, which ties him directly to his iconic grandfather.
The Pregnancy Reveal: A Surprise from the Start
The news comes after Hailie and her husband, Evan McClintock, tied the knot in May 2024. In a clever twist, the couple kept the pregnancy under wraps during their wedding. On a 2024 episode of her podcast, Just a Little Shady, Hailie and cohost Brittany Ednie recalled how they disguised her pregnancy by faking drinks throughout the evening.

The video ends with a heartfelt moment: Hailie gifting her dad a custom jersey that reads “Grandpa,” followed by the surprise ultrasound reveal.
Eminem’s Legacy as a Father
Beyond his musical legacy, Eminem has long emphasized the importance of fatherhood. In past interviews, he’s spoken about raising Hailie, along with daughters Alaina and Stevie Laine Scott, and how being a parent helped him overcome personal struggles. “The most important thing is to be there for my kids and raise them the right way,” he told Rolling Stone in 2004.
